Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Stambourne, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Stambourne
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Around Stambourne, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold

What fire rated sealant looks like in Stambourne
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Thomas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stambourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Stambourne
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Stambourne?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Stambourne in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stambourne is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
